without conviction for almost five years will be one of the topics raised with Xi when they meet in the Great Hall of the People on Monday.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry this week defended Yang's prosecution, saying his case had been handled in strict accordance with the law. Albanese will on Tuesday meet Chinese Premier Li Qiang, whose message of congratulations soon after the prime minister's election victory on May 21 last year raised the prospects of a reset in bilateral relations.From the outset of his prime ministership, Albanese had demanded that China immediately lift what he described as "unjustified" official and unofficial trade barriers costing Australian exporters $20 billion a year.
China is concerned by the level of restrictions placed on Chinese investment in Australia due to growing security concerns.About 400 Australian executives who do business with China are expected to attend a lunch with Albanese in Shanghai on Sunday. Many urge Australia to ease restrictions on Chinese investment.
During the three-day visit, Albanese will focus on reinvigorating the China-Australia free trade agreement, resolving the remaining Chinese trade bans and finding agreement on how to settle future trade disputes, his office said.
